  • Paul Gauguin 8 February to 28 June 2015
    Media Release Paul Gauguin 8 February to 28 June 2015 With Paul Gauguin (1848-1903), the Fondation Beyeler presents one of the most important and fascinating artists in history. As one of the great European cultural highlights in the year 2015, the exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler brings together over fifty masterpieces by Gauguin from leading international museums and private collections. This is the most dazzling exhibition of masterpieces by this exceptional, groundbreaking French artist that has been held in Switzerland for sixty years; the last major retrospective in neighbouring countries dates back around ten years. Over six years in the making, the show is the most elaborate exhibition project in the Fondation Beyeler’s history. The museum is consequently expecting a record number of visitors. The exhibition features Gauguin’s multifaceted self-portraits as well as the visionary, spiritual paintings from his time in Brittany, but it mainly focuses on the world-famous paintings he created in Tahiti. In them, the artist celebrates his ideal of an unspoilt exotic world, harmoniously combining nature and culture, mysticism and eroticism, dream and reality. In addition to paintings, the exhibition includes a selection of Gauguin’s enigmatic sculptures that evoke the art of the South Seas that had by then already largely vanished. There is no art museum in the world exclusively devoted to Gauguin’s work, so the precious loans come from 13 countries: Switzerland, Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, Great Britain (England and Scotland),

Post- Impressionism is not an art movement, nor an art style; it is a brief period at the T end of the nineteenth century. Impressionism being a phenomenon unique to French painting, the idea of Post-Impressionism is also closely linked to French art. Generally, the beginning of the Post-Impressionist era dates from 1886, from the moment of the eighth and final joint Impressionist Art exhibition.

  • Paul Gauguin: the Art of Invention July 21—September 15, 2019 Main Exhibition Galleries, East Building
    Large Print Labels Paul Gauguin: The Art of Invention July 21—September 15, 2019 Main Exhibition Galleries, East Building Text Panels Paul Gauguin: The Art of Invention Throughout his career Paul Gauguin (1848–1903) was a radically experimental artist. He produced inventive work in a wide range of media including the paintings, sculpture, drawings, prints, and ceramics seen in this exhibition. Gauguin was self-taught and first adopted the then avant-garde Impressionist technique in the 1870s. Thereafter, he pioneered a painting method of flat patterns and strong outlines in the mid-1880s that anticipated 20th-century abstract art. His wood sculptures and hand-molded ceramics also challenged accepted conventions. No other artist of the time pushed artistic boundaries toward abstraction in such a range of materials as Gauguin. Gauguin’s art was deeply influenced by his extensive travels around the world and his experience with a broad range of cultures. Born to a French father and French- Peruvian mother, Gauguin lived in Lima, Peru, as a child. As a young man he spent several years in the French merchant navy, voyaging from Brazil to India to the Arctic Circle. Subsequently, he traveled around France from Paris to Arles to the coast of Brittany. He also briefly lived in Copenhagen, Denmark. Perhaps the most profound impact on Gauguin’s art resulted from his travels to France’s colonies. He spent several months in Martinique in the Caribbean and lived the later years of his life in Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands. In Polynesia, Gauguin formed intimate relationships with several young women while remaining married to, yet estranged from, his Danish wife, Mette.

It shimmers like an art display in its own right, facing in towards Foreword the glass central courtyard in Renzo Piano’s wonderful 2014 extension to the Harvard Art Museums. The collection seems, somehow, suspended within the sky. From the public galleries it is tantalising, almost intoxicating, to see the glass-fronted cases full of their bright bottles up there in the administra- tive area of the museum. The shelves are arranged mostly by hue; the blues are graded in ombre effect from deepest midnight to the fading in- digo of favourite jeans, with startling, pleasing juxtapositions of turquoise (flasks of lightest green malachite; summer sky-coloured copper carbon- ate and swimming pool verdigris) next to navy, next to something that was once blue and is now simply, chalk. A few feet along, the bright alizarin crimsons slake to brownish brazil wood upon one side, and blush to madder pink the other. This curious chromatic ordering makes the whole collection look like an installation exploring the very nature of painting.
